Chapter 627: Burning Dongting Lake (Third update, asking for diamonds)
As the smoke of war continued to approach, the entire Chang'an began to move intensively again. Groups of large armies continued to gather towards Chang'an. Luo Zhang naturally felt the atmosphere of war.
During these days, Luo Zhang would never go out as much as he could to spend time with his family. Counting the time, he would have to travel far in just a few days.
Luo Zhang has also handed over the arrangements for Luo Zhang to Wu Shaobin. After he leaves, he has the final say in Luo Mansion's affairs, and he is going to take away Chen Kuifeng and Shibaqi. Fortunately, the bodyguard at home repairs them.
Because they are already above the Qi Sensing Realm, they are enough for Wu Shaobin to call upon. Even if there is any trouble that cannot be solved, those enhanced iron bumps in the ground are not just for vegetarians.
When you encounter a strong enemy, just throw a dozen of them at him and see who can take them.
As for the iron lumps given to the Royal Navy, Luo Zhang worked hard for days and made a lot of them. They were all transported to the naval barracks and Liu Renyuan sent people to strictly guard them. These things will be used in the subsequent war.
But you can't be noticed by others, so you have to be careful.
Speaking of the navy, just as the atmosphere of the Chang'an War became increasingly intense, a war was taking place far in the south on Dongting Lake.
Four giant warships were floating on the lake, and there were countless small boats around them that were firing arrows at the giant warships, and some even set the arrows on fire.
The surrounding warships that were attacked in this way remained calm and motionless, as if there was no movement on board the warships, as if they were four ghost ships with no one on board.
However, just when the arrows from those small boats stopped and the people on the small boats wanted to climb onto the four warships, the four originally silent warships seemed to come to life.
A soldier wearing armor suddenly appeared on the boat, holding a long sword with cold light in his hand, and slashed at the hook lock on the side of the boat.
Thump thump!
Those who originally wanted to climb onto the warship fell into the lake one after another because their hooks were cut off.
For these people who have lived in the lake since childhood, there is nothing wrong with entering the lake. It only takes a while to swim to the shore.
However, this was just the beginning. After throwing all these people into the lake, people on the warships kept pouring buckets of pungent smelling things into the lake. The four warships fell together. The scene was so spectacular.
.
After all the contents in the barrels were emptied, the four warships also left the place and ran far away. Then arrows with the same sparks were fired at the place where they were originally.
Boom boom boom~~~
The fire suddenly spread out on the lake, igniting the lake for several miles around. The small boats that followed the warships and wanted to attack the warships were instantly wrapped in tongues of flames. As for those who fell into the lake, they screamed in agony.
Continuously, dive into the lake.
But if you can stay in the lake for a while, can you stay in the lake for a long time? When they come up and want to breathe, they still can't escape the fate of being devoured by tongues of fire.
Not far away, on four warships, Liu Rengui frowned as he looked at the countless small boats and the large number of people swallowed by the flames.
The soldiers standing aside held their breath and did not dare to say a word. The scene in front of them was too shocking to them. This was the first time they had seen such a battle. It was just that it was too cruel. Some people even
Can not bear to look.
"Sir, are we doing this to harm Tianhe?" Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.
Liu Rengui looked at the person who asked the question and said calmly: "This is the strategy my lord gave me. Although I don't agree with it, have you forgotten what my lord taught you? Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. If your lord says so, we will do so."
Do it. As for the rest, don’t think about it. Besides, didn’t you just see the arrows they shot at us? If it were them against us, do you think these barbarians would be merciful? I’m afraid that we will be captured and used by them.
You might even eat it after roasting it!"
"My lord, what you said makes sense. It's my subordinate's fault!" The subordinate bowed.
Liu Rengui didn't pay attention to his men's words, but looked intently at the flaming lake in the distance.
Thinking of the Flying Pigeon letter he received from Luo Zhang two days ago, asking him to prepare a large amount of kerosene, he didn't quite understand Luo Zhang's intention at the time. But the second Flying Pigeon letter made him understand Luo Zhang's intention. According to Luo Zhang
As said, this method can solve the barbarian troubles faster, because time is running out, and the northern war is about to begin. Luo Zhang does not want Liu Rengui to spend too much time here, and he does not want his warships and soldiers to be plotted by Feng Ang.
, this is the only last resort to be made.
As for what hurt Tianhe, Luo Zhang also said in Fei Ge's biography that all these were his orders. Even if there was any trouble, he would be the one to shoulder it and it had nothing to do with Liu Rengui.
In this regard, Liu Rengui could only follow Luo Zhang's instructions. He also agreed with what his subordinates said, but again, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Since Luo Zhang gave him such an order,
, He just needs to execute it. Without Luo Zhang, where would Liu Rengui be today? Therefore, he will obey Luo Zhang unconditionally!
While Liu Rengui was standing on the warship watching the fire on the lake, a group of people on the shore were also watching the scene on the lake not far away.
Seeing the miserable burned barbarian, the faces of the people on the shore turned pale, and some were already vomiting without holding back. In fact, the smell of burning was drifting towards them, and the smell of meat was mixed with it.
The smell of kerosene is simply disgusting. Even the strongest-willed person can't help but tremble when he sees this hell on earth, let alone these spies who don't have much willpower.
After all, kerosene is no better than gasoline, but the fire will become smaller after a while, but Luo Zhang has no time to refine gasoline. Besides, refining gasoline is not that simple. He can only use kerosene to support it, but this is enough.
Dead bodies were floating on the lake. There were almost no intact boats floating on the lake at this time. Even a few people who could throw themselves were burned beyond recognition. Now they were just making a final death struggle.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the warship took a breath. Who would have thought that kerosene could be used in this way, and the problem was solved with a fire, which made everyone speechless.
Originally, they thought there would be a vigorous fight, but now it seems that, let alone a fight, they can't even find an opponent.
"The matter here has been settled. Turn the ship around. Let's go back. The war in the north is about to begin. We can't be left behind. Others will take away all the victory!" After watching for a moment, Liu Rengui ordered.
The generals naturally took the order, and the four warships lined up and headed back the way they came.
